Spending time with Pim and the staff at the farm was truly a life changing experience. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I was able to participate in a variety of educational workshops, meet guests from all over the world, and connect with nature on a deeper level. Pim has an incredible wealth of knowledge about lifestyle medicine and she taught me so many things I will carry with me far beyond my time at the farm.

The food was amazing as was the daily kombucha! The energy of this place is very calming and connects you with your roots. If you are someone who can't be content if you have nothing to do then you might struggle. There are not many tasks given to do and sometimes Pim does have to leave and you are left with other volunteers to cook & hangout. There were two other volunteers who made my experience extra special :) Pim has a full staff that does mostly everything! If you're thinking about going - just go! Bring a book! It's a beautiful countryside & you'll be treated with nothing but kindness.

Decent staff and great food. Be advised that there are shared tents and not an actual private room unless her rooms are unbooked by her “real” clients. Worldpackers will get the leftovers. Other than that it's a great place for a really good price. There is no WiFi, hot water or places to charge a phone. It gets very cold at night so invest in a warm blanket. Good luck getting to and from here without spending an arm and a leg. I wouldn't recommend to anyone on a budget or that enjoys western comforts.
